Strategic priorities for 2009 in Côte d’Ivoire were identified as the following: 1) protection and community reinsertion for IDPs through access to basic social services and means of subsistence in the west; and 2) improvement of nutritional status of vulnerable populations living in food-insecure areas in the north. Humanitarian actors have oriented their activities towards providing effective and coordinated support (balanced and inclusive between sectors of action) to ongoing return movements, especially in the west. They have also extended coverage and access to essential therapeutic care for children suffering from severe acute malnutrition within communities and health facilities in the north.
To adequately respond to humanitarian needs as well as emerging recovery and development requirements, stakeholders highlighted the need for humanitarian and recovery activities to be complementary. To support the smooth transition from humanitarian to recovery and development, it was agreed that the humanitarian community would focus on identifying and responding to existing assistance and protection needs of IDPs, returnees, and other vulnerable groups in host communities. Needs related to early recovery and sustainable development would be addressed by the appropriate actors through the relevant programming and funding mechanisms such as the Government-led PSC for which two UNDP administered Trust Funds (one for the PSC and one for Elections) have been established to facilitate and accelerate disbursement of external funding.
The elaboration of the UNDAF for 2009-2013 also supports the transition to early recovery. The UNDAF provides UN agencies and their national and international partners with a framework to ensure that the outcomes of the emergency relief phase will be sustained and that remaining humanitarian needs are taken into account by early recovery and development programming.
Project proposals submitted for funding during the current Appeal have taken into account the living conditions of vulnerable populations in the areas of return. Provision has also been made for distribution of agricultural inputs and food rations to assist vulnerable rural households affected by the conflict and increase in the access to essential therapeutic care for children suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
In the current context of no war and no peace, some outstanding political concerns are being addressed such as the voters’ census operation and the date of the election. These will be critical for the success of the peace process, which is directly linked to maintaining security and progress towards early recovery and development throughout the country.
